Although there's a Command Prompt equating to some form of DOS box, fdisk is not recognised there.
There is some form of equivalent somewhere in the Windows XP CD startup (I forget exactly where). But after all the trauma, I wish I'd known about the 'Manage' window before, it makes life so easy. BTW, I just ran a Defrag on my C: drive, the difference it's made is amazing. Makes me wonder how I put up with the sluggishness recently - it's months since I last defragmented the hard disk. Which has made me think - do QL hard disks (QXL.WIN or QUBIDE) ever need defragmenting? If so, how do we do it?
